That toll road must be up to Pelabuhan Ratu and later to Cianjur so this area is really a good area. The road in the south is to connect from Banten to the south until later to Sukabumi so that the economy here will grow, "he continued detailing the government's desire to better connect Sukabumi with other provinces to improve the welfare of its people.

In addition to roads, Coordinating Minister Luhut also encouraged the construction of airports in Sukabumi to be more accessible to travelers.
